I Need Thee

So much in my life has been going on
 You keep looking at my smile and thinking nothing's wrong
 You've been seeing all my shows and think my money's long
 Truth be told, this past year tried to steal my song
 Tried to steal my joy, my peace, and mental strength
 Even my voice, my love, and my happiness
 Who knows why the caged bird sings
 Well, let me open up my mouth and let my freedom ring
 Ring, rule, and reign over every part of me
 Especially the parts that you never see
 You never see the tears behind the laughter
 The brain that is scattered nor the heart that's been shattered
 All you see is the big dude who gives the best hugs
 But did you ever think that same dude is in need of love
 And I don't mean a single post on the gram
 I mean when Queen took a bullet and never let go of his hand
 I need Thee oh I need Thee
 Lord said I really need Ya
 Lord I need You
 Said I need Thee oh I need Thee
 Lord I really need You
 Lord I need You
 Have you ever seen a grown man cry
 Have you ever heard a grown man lie
 Have you ever sent a text or made a call and got no reply
 Place an X by all that apply
 I placed and X on my life
 Cause nothing is constant it's all variables
 And sometimes why is unbearable
 See, life was simple at the ABC's but it started stinging around the time of the birds and the bees
 That's when I was told I was smelling myself
 What's that aroma
 Apparently I haven't stopped sniffin'
 I had the 'Rona
 That Tuesday night with the chills I thought I was a goner
 But not like Tamir, Ahmaud, Sandra, or Breonna
 I still shutter when I think of how He lost his life
 And how the judgments flew of what was wrong and what was right
 His suffocation changed the world - a man of color died
 And I ain't scared to say His name it was Jesus Christ
 Lord I need You
 I need you
 Right now Jesus, Right now
 Lord I need You
 Said I need, I need You right now
 Lord I need you
 I need Thee
 Like the oceans need the water
 I need You
 Like the stars need the sky
 I need You
 With these tears in my eyes
 I need You
 Lord please save us before we die
 This song is your image bearer's cry
 I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
 Every hour I need Thee
 Oh Bless me now my Saviour
 I come to Thee
